Steve Mason- We get rid of his salary and forces Howson to get another goalie to help or push Bobrovsky. Also, a 7th might be worth it for a team acquiring Mason as I still believe he'll regain his old form.

While he may be the Caps' whipping boy, Schultz is worth more than a 7th. I agree that his time here has run its course and would prefer a replacement, but I'd hold out for a better return than a 7th. You might not get a biter right now during free agency with other options available for free, but when the season starts and someone loses a defenseman to injury we certainly could.
